Hanging Bridges and Tram Tour at Sky Adventures Arenal
The hanging bridges and tram ride at Sky Adventures are a wonderful way to take in the lush rainforest and get views of Arenal Volcano.
Hanging Bridges
On the hike, you will cross 5 suspension bridges that take you through verdant primary rainforest and to scenic viewpoints of Arenal Volcano and the lake. The hike is about 4 km/2.5 miles and easy to moderate in difficulty. We highly recommend adding a guide for this tour ($5 pp) so that you can see more wildlife. On our visits, we have seen sloths, eyelash pit viper snakes, coatis (a raccoon-like animal), monkeys, toucans, and other birds.
Note that for the guided tour option, you will visit only two of the hanging bridges and the scenic viewpoint. The guide will stop along the way to teach you about the ecosystem and point out wildlife.
Tram
You will also take a tram ride above the tree line to enjoy more views of the lake and volcano. A naturalist guide will join you, teaching you about the local flora and fauna.
Once the gondola reaches the top, you will arrive at a wide observation platform on the highest point of the reserve. The giant “Hand of Arenal” sculpture is a great spot for photos.
